Science and Ideas Group - Atmospheric Rivers & California Climate History
I have to point out you're Very wrong on the Dravidians.They are clearly a middle east caucasion type related group originating from Iran and Turan (South-Central Asia, especially Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and at least part of Afghanistan) migrating during the Neolithic period not the palelothic .The ancient tribal gruops seem to be more closly related to a mix Andaman Islanders and the the various paleolithic autochthonous peoples from South Asia itself.
Uh…uh. Unwatchable.
Joe Ravinger - The so called out of Africa " theory is an Anglosaxon phantasy!! The craddle of mankind is in Asia and in Europe. To Africa the humans came later!!
Would any of you have any idea how much meat the hunter gatherer homo sapien would have eaten. i guess the vegetation was quite poor.
Great presentation. Thank you so much. From San Diego.
I think these archeologists are claiming that migrations that took place thousands of years ago are mentioned as crossing Israel (trying to legitimizing the illegitimate Jewish state) making the effort of many researchers somewhat irrelevant.
Peking Man? Man is for Mankind, it is just an English oddity that Man is for Mankind and Man is for a male member of Mankind. Let us not get too hung up on these kind of things. Surly we a smart enough to know the difference.
This is just wonderful! Thank you, thank you for this high quality talk with a great thinker!
Republicans watch this stuff to you know. Why insult people when trying to get views? I can't believe anything in this video now I know your biased.
Hey, Repub dude, how old is the solar system?
Out of Africa happened over 6-7 million years ago if not earlier, since then there were many migrations of apes and hominins.
Expanding earth better explains this.

YOU ACADEMIC PEOPLE AND YOUR RACIST SUPREMIST THEORIES DONT FOOL ANYBODY ANY MORE. TRYING TO ANIMALIZE NON WHITES WHILE PUTTING YOURSELVES ON A FICTIONAL PEDESTAL.

YOU CANT LIE TO US ANYMORE. CEASE YOUR EFFORTS DAMNIT.

Very interesting! Couldn't it just as well be native Americans who went west bringing the sweet potato with them, instead of Polynesians going east?
What a totally radist small minded person he is..rumsfield comments prove hisnis also unable to understand even basic logic..i seriosly doubt he will be able to do anything but parrot others and is just a sheep ..disgusting
Africa is NOT our birth place. Nandrhals are 99.7% identical to us... They did NOT evolve on 2 seprate continents. Half a million years apart. It's laughable!
Africa is the north place of Homo sapiens. Neaderthals and Homo sapiens both share a recent ancestor some 700,000 years ago that lived in Africa. They split and one remain in Africa becoming Homo sapiens and the other into Eurasia becoming Neanderthals.
Worthwhile talk.
Keep The Faith
Gangster wanted that’s fun
Long necklaces derby’s fedoras
Fringe pleats feathers old music black and gold bubbles
Of course anyone who’s spent a decent amount of time outdoors instinctually knows that the chance of us outpacing Neanderthals on this planet are about nil.
What makes different identifying features of various races in humans...slanted eyes, sharper nose, thicker lips etc.?
Thanks for Uploading.
promosm 😁
Scientists and teachers really need to stop with the political jokes, jabs, insults etc. I've seen such behavior on countless educational videos. It adds nothing to the topic at hand and needlessly alienates millions of people...including many of your colleagues. Assuming that one party has the corner on corruption is beyond childish. Other than that I enjoyed the video.

Wonderful discussion. Sometimes I forget how one could serve their country and not be able to go to their local USO. If it wasn't for caring citizens like Ms Betty and her husband to offer a welcome place for servicemembers, a lot more people would have perished.
7:40 Not scientific “interest”, the women all have scientific training & education. Several have gone on to complete their doctorates.

Have listened to several of your talks. Fully enjoyed them and subscribed to the channel because of them. Came across this lecture again and have decided to unsubscribe after a second listen. You have discredited yourself and I now view all the information you’ve provided as suspect. Anyone who demonizes an entire group of people due to…. Well I don’t even know why you feel negatively toward Republicans…. Or why you feel so cynical toward us that you felt it appropriate to make a balky disclaimer at the top of your talk about it. It was just so unnecessary and is not characteristic of a well rounded or trustworthy intellectual. Bottom line- PERFECT EXAMPLE OF NARROW MINDED EDUCATIONAL ELITES MAKING SCIENCE POLITICAL AND THEREFORE UNRELIABLE. I challenge you and your audience to open your minds and hearts. It’s just hurtful to be disparaged as a Republican at the start of a science lecture. Just feeling so down about the CONSTANT denigration on social media and really have no idea why I’m ranting in this forum. It’s like taking in the wind. But, I feel better for having expressed it. Maybe someone will see and take me up on my challenge just once. Think about it….
Brilliant and inspiring! Thanks Ashby village and Bill. I'm Wondering if third act might consider applying this fossil Fossil fuel divestment approach to the federal govt retirement "tsp" find. There are few options in TSP and many include support of fossil fuel industry - eg the S& P 500 . Time to include a stock option that is fossil fuel free? As a retired EPA attorney, it troubles me greatly that there's no fossil fuel free stock option.

Yeah, that’ll do me. Once I hit the “Republicans” bit I’d rather not deal with politics in my anthropology. Good luck.
Agree. Got 4 min in and stopped.
How can you talk about bart for 2 hrs and not once mention the legend nello bianco? You simply cannot talk about bart without mentioning Nello.
Can you tell me who is he? I am amazed by all the history of BART but I have not heared about him.
I m black from Dr congo and have 2 % Neanderthal How did I get that?
Colonialism🤔
So fascinating. Thank you for uploading.
If *(if)* you want a real genetic discovery, I submit to you that every ancient civilization can be identified by their paternal Y chromosome. These sixteen ancient civilizations are as follows... Greek Thracians L, Greek sea people T, Europeans R, Italy K, Medes Q, Siberia N, China O, Aramean F, Lydian F2, Assyrian G, Elamite H, Hebrew/Arab I & J, North African E3 M81, Egyptian E3 V12, Canaanite E3 M123, Ethiopian E3 V32. These sixteen ancient civilizations correspond to the sixteen grandsons of Noah. Neanderthals are Japhethite descendants and Denisovans are a mix of Japhethites and Cushites. (Not Semitic).......!
Really informational talk!! Loved it and subscribed!!
Such an interesting subject but it’s unwatchable
What is really interesting about our African ancestors is that the American Sasquatch which science does not admit as real even is descended from Howler Monkeys and has an enormous amount of human dna. What agency did this involve? Huh? This creature is being spoken of every day by people not seeking notoriety in any way on the net. People are finally free to speak of their meetings with this creature and not be lambasted by scientists not able to hike the woods were they seem to be worldwide, including the Mediterranean in ancient times with what was called hairy man hunts. Why is this never exposed as true? What agenda do these control freaks have that is producing people who have seen these beings being ridiculed to the point of insanity. Why?
Just curious if you've ever studied a biology concept called "effective population size"? Reason I ask is because presumably not all Sasquatch can interbreed as they live in various pockets around the United States, so based on effective population size for Homo sapiens how many Sasquatch are necessary to sustain a population from detrimental inbreeding?
My father was a black african extremely dark rich black, my mother was an albino= caucasian, no big secret , you people are looking to deep in to a subject that will only bring you disappointment. Humans have not been around long enough for evolution to have changed the color of hair much less the skin color, stop trying to fit your personal narrative in to this equation, you only make yourself look less intelligent than you already are, there are many of us not from here , the key friends to understanding all of this is the speed at which time travels in different dimensions, where we are from 1 of your months is equal to one of our days in terms of learning and accomplishments , this is why so many are more advanced than you . The positive side is you will know what doesn't work from their failures. Never remove fear from your equation , it is the key to your survival.
All you scientists are stuck in the "Africa" rut. The only reason is because of the well preserved fossils that are in the arid regions. What, did Africa devolve and the rest of the world moved right along?
He just excluded africa . It's like Africans didn't exist. Racist
The work of David Reich is exceptional on these topics - wrote a book.
I see skin colour change from dark to light. Is from the need of permanent housing and clothes. In cold fridgid areas the need to cover the body to stop heat loss in imperative or die. Sun can't really get to the skin.
not much about Australia, curious about those hobbits
and MU
Not a very good presentation of an otherwise interesting subject!
